The Rheumatology Department brings together scientific researchers and medical clinicians with a common interest in improving outcomes for those with musculoskeletal disorders.
We are currently conducting research into the causes, impact and treatment of a wide range of disorders.
While some of our key areas of research are focusing on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and low back pain, our clinicians and researchers are also investigating osteonecrosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
Our researchers are members of national and international advisory committees that raise awareness and promote care and research for musculoskeletal conditions.
